Very nice. I know they aren't everybodys cup of tea, but I love these one piece scales with the screw type pivot pin. Gives the razor a sleek, modern look. Nothing wrong with traditional of course, it's just that these are, well, different.

I really like the screw adjustable pivot, I just tightened the pivot it a bit without having to bust out a hammer:)
I have a square point 7/8 in cocobolo too. It seemed heavy to me at first but now I really like it's weight and balance.
I agree with Ernie1980 about the screw pivot. It's a nice feature.
The edge from the maker was actually over-honed. It's edge was very sharp but was a very thin bur that crumbled with the first shave. A little touch-up on my pocket-sized translucent Arkansas stone fixed it right up and it has been a wonderful shaver ever since.
Also a fan of the Hart with three in my regular rotation, two 7/8 SP and the 6/8 Baxter which is way up on the favorites list.

(Hit the jackpot with these scales BTW)
As others have stated I've found these to be very easy to hone and maintain.
I started using the "Zowada Method" with this very razor when it finally needed to be honed.
Smooth Shaving...
